Jack Wilson had a few good seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates, one of which saw him participate in the All Star Game and earn Silver Slugger honors. Wilson had a decent career overall, and once led the National League in Triples and twice in Sacrifice Hits. He also was more than an above average defender, leading the NL in Defensive bWAR in 2005. Wilson, whose career bWAR was 23.5, likely won’t receive a vote for the Hall of Fame, but did contribute for a few years in the dark days of the Pirates organization.
